Please include all relevant details from your case including where, when, and who it involves. Case details that can effectively describe the legal situation while also staying concise generally receive the best responses from lawyers.

Mr. Buitron has dedicated his life to learning, teaching and practicing law. Before receiving his law degree from Syracuse University College of Law, he attended the University of Texas at San Antonio, earning a bachelor’s degree in Political Science and a master’s degree in Public Administration.

Mr. Buitron lectured and taught Business Law and Political Science at the University of Texas at San Antonio, Wayland Baptist University and Cayuga Community College. An active member of the Bar of the State of New York, Mr. Buitron is licensed to practice before all New York State courts and the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces.

Currently, Mr. Buitron represents clients throughout the greater Syracuse area. He works diligently to uphold and protect the rights of his clients and secure the best possible results for them.
Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.

Last year, I was able to get an A1 drug felony charge dismissed for a client.

How did you build a successful practice?

My idea of the best way to build a successful practice is simply to make certain that clients are so pleased with my staff, my services, and the results we help them obtain, that in the end they will refer their friends and family to my firm. I attempt to achieve this by always being attentive to my client's needs, preferences, and working hard on their behalf to ensure the best results possible for them.

What should clients look for in a lawyer?

Clients should look for a lawyer that is experienced within their specific type of legal issue. A lawyer that they believe will devote him or herself to working tirelessly as their advocate and voice, and they feel comfortable with and trust.

How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?

Local knowledge is critical in helping to ensure a good result for clients. Knowing the personalities of the local players (judges and assistant district attorneys) can often make the difference between a favorable and unfavorable result for a client. A lawyer familiar and respected by the local players can often use that knowledge to obtain a good result either through negotiation or trial.

What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?

During a phone consultation, I can provide a prospective client with general information about their case including what steps to expect and the overall legal process. Often as a result of a phone consultation, I can set the potential client's mind at ease and assuage his or her anxiety until we have the opportunity to meet in person and discuss specifics about their case.

What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?

My background differs a bit from most lawyers in the community. Before I became a lawyer, I worked as a lecturer, adjunct professor, and political consultant. This allows me to have a broader perspective and a wider range of experience to draw upon. I feel this knowledge base especially assists me with younger people and clients as a whole. This experience afforded me the ability to build rapport and gain trust.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?

The most rewarding aspect of my job is when I am able to take on a challenging case and obtain a great result for my client. I love the feeling of knowing that I helped someone with a serious legal issue and assisted them being able to experience a feeling of being treated fairly by the justice system.

What are your other interests in addition to law?

Besides law, I enjoy writing, reading, and teaching. I taught a course in Business Law at Cayuga Community College recently and thoroughly enjoyed my re-acquaintance with the classroom.

SAMPLE LEGAL CASES

Physician Obtains Downward Modification to Alimony Obligation
In a post-judgment divorce action, a physician was successful in obtaining a downward modification to his alimony obligation due to a substantial decrease in his income.  The parties were divorced back in 2007, and pursuant to the judgment of dissolution, the husband was required to pay alimony to the wife in the amount of $6,000 per month for a period of eleven months, followed by $5,000 per month thereafter.  The amount of the alimony obligation was modifiable upon a substantial change in circumstances in accordance with Connecticut General Statutes § 46b-86.
In Post Judgment Divorce Action, Court Determines that $1.2 Million Payment to Husband was Income, Not Liquidation of an Asset
In a post-judgment decision rendered, the Superior Court of Fairfield at Bridgeport addressed whether a payment that a husband received from his employer after the parties’ divorce constituted an asset or, alternatively, income.  The parties in this action obtained an uncontested divorce in 2008.  As part of their separation agreement, the husband was obligated to pay the wife child support in the amount of $1,600.00 per month.
Child Care Costs and the Connecticut Child Support Guidelines
In a decision rendered previously, the Connecticut Appellate Court explained the definition of “child care costs” as set forth in the Connecticut Child Support Guidelines.  In that particular case, the parties were married for approximately five years and were the parents of two minor children.  During the year of 2003, they entered into a custody stipulation which was subsequently incorporated into a comprehensive separation agreement.  The separation agreement provided that the husband would pay the wife $2,500 per month in unallocated alimony and child support for a period of five years, followed by straight child support.
